IN THE OLDEN TIME.
How Women Were Executed in Europe
in Centuries Long Gone BY.

How Women Were Executed in Europe
in Centuries Long Gone BY.
In the early days of England men
were too humane to execute women,
but they drowned them. During the
reign of Henry Ill, however, a woman
was hanged, but as she did not die
after being on the gibbit for day,
they cut her down and she was grant
ed pardon. Adulterous women and
sorceresses were drowned or smothered
in mud. Stones were fastened to their
necks to prevent their swimming, or
they were sewed up in sacks. Some
times they are drowned in company with
a cat, dog and a snake. The Anglo
Saxons drowned women guilty of theft.
The criminal was thrown from the cliff
or submerged. In the tenth century
women was drowned at London bridge.
Women were punished by drowning in
Scotland In 1899 Grissell Nation was
condemned by the High Court of Edin-
burgh ''to be taken to the north lock
and there drowned till she be dead"
A memorable instance of drowning
occurred at Bavaria, October IA, 1886.
Agnes Bernaurian, wife of Duke Albert
the Pious, was dropped off the bridge
of the City of Regensburg into the
Danube, by order of her father. She
appears not to have been put into a
sack, and her limbs not to have been
securely bound, for she rose to the sur
face of the water, and swan to the
shore, crying ''help, help" but the ex-
ecutioners put long pole into her hair
and kept her down.
According to the Danish laws, wom-
en- were buried alive for theft, a
method of punishment not unknown
in France. In 1881 Marote Duplas
was scourged and subjected to this
cruel death at Abbeyville, and in 1850
a woman named Perotte Manager, a
goods, was, by order of the Provost OF
Paris, buried alive in front of the glib
bet in that city. In ancient German
history we read of female criminals
being impaled in the mud, and in COM
paratively recent years the remains of
several bodies have been found to
prove the truth of this assertion.
In early England cook once poisoned
fourteen persons. The authorities did
not believe they had a punishment
sufficiently severe for her case, so a
law was passed making her crime
punishable by being boiled to death
The EGrth. Z.
